We are in a severe drought area and was looking for something that would water itself over a period of time. This has really worked great for my little salad garden. The soil stays moist to sprout the seeds and I can move it anywhere I want. I can also go on little trips and not worry about watering my garden. I also do not have to worry about disturbing the little seedlings when watering.

I love this planter! The first one was challenging to put together however once we figured it out, the others were a piece of cake! Casters are a must to facilitate ease of movement if planning to move the planter around. They are well worth the investment. I love the screw shims to help level as needed. Each planter holds 2 x 32 quart bags of soil plus a bit of mulch or fertilizer. My mobile garden is growing like gangbusters and I am looking forward to adding many more to our patio. It would be great to get them in a rainbow of colors but I will settle for black right now. :)

Use a professional potting mix and pack this with plants! I needed a container for my windy sunny deck, where container plants can dry out quickly. Our weather has been alternating between downpours and unseasonably hot. Planter has kept soil moisture consistent. I am not paying any attention to the water indicator - it is already covered up by happy healthy foliage anyway. Plan to buy more of these and get rid of my smaller containers!

Planter was easy to assemble. Instructions were clear. I've had it in use for about 3 weeks now and plants are doing very well. My only complaint would be that there was no other color choice. I would have preferred a terra cotta color.

Overall I like this planter a lot. We are using this to have a little garden on our apartment porch. The water gauge indicator is basically useless. I am just guessing about how much water is in the planter.
